No permission under law for DJs in public events, says Mangaluru Police Commissioner
Mangaluru: City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy has clarified that, in accordance with the law, performances by disc jockeys (DJs) will not be permitted during public events including festivities.
The senior officer responded to a demand made by the members of the association in-charge of providing loudspeakers and decorations during celebration of festivals at public places. The members, who called a press meet on Wednesday, had warned of denying the facilities for any public event if they were not permitted to install loudspeakers and provide decorations for the programs they had specified.
Reddy, who commented on the threat, said that the association members had the freedom to boycott an event.
“We will make due provisions to ensure the celebrations do not disturb the public, senior citizens, students and patients. Senior police officers including the Deputy Commissioner, Additional Superintendent of Police and Assistant Commissioner will hold a meeting with the Ganeshotsava organizers on Thursday to discuss this issue and finalize things. While there can be exemption to some of the rules for justifiable reasons, the exemption cannot be considered the new rule,” he warned.

Former Assam Cong chief Bhupen Borah joins BJP
Guwahati (PTI): Former Assam Congress chief Bhupen Kumar Borah on Sunday joined the ruling BJP in the presence of its state unit president Dilip Saikia here.
Borah became a BJP member during a function held at the Assam BJP headquarters 'Vajpayee Bhawan'.
Along with him, former Congress worker Sanju Bora, too, joined the saffron party.
Borah had resigned on February 16, with the Congress high command not accepting it and senior leaders rushing to his residence, while Rahul Gandhi also spoke to him.
He had asked for time to reconsider his decision, but the next day, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma went to his residence and announced that he would join the BJP on February 22.
The 126-member Assam assembly is expected to go to polls in March-April.
